@NewsBunny: As the defendants and plaintiffs let out PRIMAL SCREAM[s] and bring out the ANIMAL[s] IN THEM[selves], Vince's friends call it all a WHITE TRASH CIRCUS. But he just watches with STARRY EYES.
@SUNNY1: I'll bet Vince looks at some of those defendants and wonders if they're A RAT LIKE ME. I'm sure Vince realized that it doesn't matter since Judge Judgy CAN'T CHANGE ME and yet, is EVERY INCH A WOMAN. He loves Judge Judy because, with her, no one has to FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHTS since JJ is HELL ON HIGH HELLS.
@NewsBunny: He croons a SICK LOVE SONG at the screen, cuz JJ is just RED HOT as she deals with people arguing LOUDER THAN HELL over RATTLESNAKE SHAKE[s].
Honestly, after you've made a sex tape with a porn star, done every drug known to man, written some of the worst music in history and slept with every woman in existence between 1984-1988, you should probably spend your days watching Judge Judy as penance.
That said, the Motley Crue "Behind the Music" is second only to Leif Garret's episode. They broke the mold after the Motley Crue episode (Nikki Sixx was pronounced dead...TWICE! They had 2 sex tapes before it was cool!) and Leif Garrett was forced to meet the man he paralyzed on camera. Oh man, I really, really miss the heyday of "BtM."
@Tchotchke: Motley Crue and Leif Garret are both classic, but Def Leppard is my all-time favorite episode of Behind the Music. Rick Allen lost an ARM. And still kept drumming!
@hej hej: Another good one. What is so hysterical about Behind the Music was that it is so formulaic. Clearly, when the show was created early on, the producers found a common career arc between many of those bands. However, when the series wore on, the producers became so rigid in keeping that narrative that they would shoe-horn these artists' lives into them. They would have something like, "Behind the Music: Enya" and still find some way to force her to have a "rock bottom" moment. It was so unintentionally hilarious.
@Tchotchke: It's so true. The formula was always 'young people find early success', followed by 'descent into drug and alcohol abuse' and the inevitable 'rock bottom', before finally ending on 'redemption' (which usually followed a stay at Promises in Malibu).
I'm sure certain episodes were very tricky for the show's producers. I don't recall Celine Dion, for instance, ever driving drunk and killing her best friend, a la Vince Neil. In those cases it was probably just easier to manufacture a "rock bottom" moment, though like you said, those episodes were always unintentionally hilarious.
@Tchotchke: I liked a parody episode they did with Garth Brooks' alter ego Chris Gaines, where at every commercial break a new tragedy in his life was announced.
@sayah: Um, yeah. You're in your late forties. What seemed sexy and wild when you were 22 seems boring and pathetic now at this age.
I'm reminded of Alice Cooper on this E!THS story about rock stars' wives and going, "These guys married their fourth stripper and can't understand why it didn't work out. She's a stripper. Nothing against her, but she takes her clothes off for men." He wasn't putting down women for stripping, but for men marrying for looks and sex appeal and nothing else. For him, his wife is a ballet instructor who still teaches at a local school.
@beatrice2000: I read an Alice Cooper interview once that was about how he knew his wife was The One because she would stay around watching Godzilla movies with him when everyone else was partying. I decided then, "I like you Alice Cooper".
@effgeevee: And that when she got the job dancing for him, she went, "Great. Who's she?" Because she had been raised as an old-fashioned Christian and ballet was her life.
Alice said he noticed her while she was lying in a hallway reading a book while doing some crazy leg stretch. I just liked that she, and some of the other rock star wives, had this no-bullshit attitude, were close in age to their husbands, and often their husbands were happy to have smart, tough, badass women who they were lucky to be married to.
@beatrice2000: I've always been a dedicated viewer of E!THS. My favorite episode was the one on rock star groupies. The Led Zeppelin "mud shark" incident has been forever cemented onto my brain. I can't hear the intro guitar chords to "Stairway to Heaven" without immediately thinking "SHARK!".
Thanks, E! True Hollywood Stories!
My grandfather (also a judge) knows her personally and said she is exactly the same in person as she is on tv. She must be a riot at dinner parties. #judgejudynatpelegacyaward
Hitching up your dress in public to adjust your Spanx is pretty understandable in my book. Those things are effing uncomfortable. #judgejudymichaellohan
@frankie22: Seriously. I've shown more cooter than that a couple drinks into a girdle-filled night. I never leave voice mails though, DDing is bad enough, don't leave any proof. #judgejudymichaellohan
